Hi @boreen ,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand you are getting the "Inaccessible Boot Device" error usually means Windows is unable to access the system drive. Here are some steps to try and fix it:

1. Force Restart and Check Connections

• Turn off your laptop completely.
• Disconnect all external devices (USB drives, external hard drives, etc.).
• Restart and check if it boots normally.

2. Boot into Safe Mode

Since you can't boot into Windows, try Advanced Startup Options:

1. Turn off your laptop completely.
2. Turn it back on and as soon as you see the HP logo, press and hold the Power button until it turns off again.
3. Repeat this 3 times. The fourth time, let it boot normally, and you should see the Windows Recovery screen.
4. Go to Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart.
5. Press 4 to boot into Safe Mode.
6. If it boots in Safe Mode, restart normally and see if the issue is resolved.

3. Use Startup Repair

If Safe Mode doesn't work:

1. In Advanced Options, go to Startup Repair.
2. Let Windows attempt to fix any issues automatically.

4. Run CHKDSK and SFC in Command Prompt

1. In Advanced Options, open Command Prompt.
2. Type: chkdsk C: /f /r
   Press Enter and let it check for disk errors.

        3.Then type: sfc /scannow
           Press Enter to scan and repair system files.

5. Try System Restore

1. In Advanced Options, go to System Restore.
2. Choose a restore point before the issue started.

6. Check for Storage Driver Issues

1. If you recently updated Windows or changed storage drivers, boot into Advanced Options.
2. Select Command Prompt and type: dism /image:C:\ /get-drivers
3. If you see any storage drivers recently installed, you may need to roll them back.

7. Reset Windows (Last Resort)

If nothing works, you may need to reset Windows:

1. In Advanced Options, go to Reset this PC.
2. Choose Keep my files (if possible) or Remove everything (if needed).

Let me know if any of these steps work, or if you need more help!

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.

Hoi,

bedankt voor je reactie. ik heb de laptop weer werkend gekregen. Dit gedaan via Software-HP Cloud Recovery daarna alles weer opgebouwd werkt goed totdat ik windows 24H ging installeren en weer deze fout kreeg. Windows herstelde zich weer naar 22H2 nu verder geupdate naar 23H2 en even de update naar 24h2 uitgesteld. Iemand nog ideeën. 

Hoor graag en maak er een mooie dag van
